All Things SekhmetSEKHMET'S STAR TEMPLE OF MAGICK. The journey within the Body of Sekhmet has taken us to many places. In Her Earth Temple we learned about ourselves and who we are by ourselves and in conjunction with other celebrants of the Goddess. In Sekhmet's Moon Temple, we moved from the personal to the transpersonal, making deep connections with our inner being and denizens of the subtler realms. In the Sun Temple, we moved into the solar heart of Sekhmet where we bring our abilities into full consciousness and heal ourselves through the compassionate service of helping others.

Netjeru CrossingsWelcome to my pages! I just want to say the way I see them is not the way books and other Egyptian groups see the Netjeru. I may not see the Netjeru as other Egyptian groups, but I have total respect for their ways of practice. Just alittle about myself now...where to start? I am a solitary Priest of the Netjeru using the ways of Modern Paganism as my path. My name is Asumut. My soul dates back to the 2nd Egyptian dynasty....what a beautiful time that was, but it will never be the Egypt as I knew then. Most of my lives were in Egypt ranking in all fields from slave to Priest. Someday the homeland will be like it was in the times of great Pharoahs.

Egyptian Creation EpicHarmonized from various versions of the Mythos by Aaron Leitch.
When speaking of ancient Khemet (Egypt), it is necessary to remember that we are not speaking of a singular village in a singular time. In fact, we are speaking of two great nations that spanned thousands of years. In this time, there were several dynasties of rulers (not all of them Egyptian) and literally hundreds of varying religions. Each temple had its own patron deity, whose worshippers often regarded as the Supreme God and Creator. The sun-god Re is merely one example, as is Osiris. This is what often makes a study of Egyptian mythology complicated or even utterly confusing. What follows, then, is my own "harmonized" version of the Egyptian creation mythos. It incorporates most of the more popular aspects from various tellings of the story, and I have therefore named it an "epic." Enjoy!
